Know Before You Go

Originally built on a rocky peninsula and overlooking the Atlantic, Essaouira is one of Morocco’s must-see destinations, with a whitewashed Medina enclosed by huge pink sandstone ramparts, which are listed as UNESCO World Heritage Sites.

With a rich Portuguese and Andalusian heritage, Essaouira holds great appeal. From a long white sandy beach and dunes to a bustling fishing port with excellent seafood and colourful wooden fishing boats, Essaouira has always been a favourite retreat of hippies, sailors, artists, and musicians.

Phoenicians & Portuguese - Founded by the Phoenicians in the 7th century BC, the Portuguese arrived in the 15th century and established the first fortifications and a trading post. The town of Essaouira itself wasn’t built until the latter half of the 1700s, sanctioned by an Alouite sultan, Mohammed II. It was actually a renowned French architect who designed and built the town.
